6-month research fellowship (renewable) for conducting research activities related to the following research topic “Isolation of extracellular vesicles (EVs) secreted by circulating tumor cells (CTCs) and development of innovative nanocarriers—both synthetic and biomimetic—coated with EV-derived membranes for the targeted delivery of selected chemotherapeutic agents. The nanocarriers will undergo thorough physicochemical characterization at each step of the fabrication process and will subsequently be tested in vitro and in vivo to evaluate their therapeutic efficacy and targeting specificity”. Research Program “”Handling of mesenchymal-like circulating pancreatic cancer cells as an innovative approach to restrain disease progression”” – PNRR-MCNT2-2023-12377885 –  PNRR CALL: M6/C2_CALL 2023).
